Review:
Want to have a marvelous theatrical experience? The Actors Company Theater (TACT) is without a doubt the best play-reading troupe in this town (or any other town that I've seen). Their staged readings of classics, script in hand (the scripts soon become invisible), with a hint at costuming, have the full dramatic intensity of a fully-realized production performed by Broadway actors. TACT's most recent piece, Terence Rattigan's 1942 wartime British Airforce drama Flare Path, flawlessly directed by Simon Jones, is brought to full life by their splendid cast. Next on their agenda is The Firebugs by Max Frisch.
